Since you apparently have to do something for each day of the week on one of these, I will be profiling my foolish and futile attempts to become more "cool" every Monday. Also, Sunday's I will dedicate to a movie currently in theaters. I'm still working out the rest of the week.
I have always found myself drawn to the world of skating, boarding and things "extreme" in general. This attraction has always been diametrically opposed to my generally cautious, reserved and wussy nature. Besides skiing, none of my chosen activities could be described as dangerous or risky.
Today, however, I have taken the plunge and have decided to pick up longboarding. Anyone on the PSU campus has probably seen a longboarder riding to class with that weird zig-zag motion. Developed to give the feel of surfing or snowboarding on land, longboards are a more functional and graceful version of their shorter bretheren.
After careful consideration I decided on a Loaded Dervish model, pretty much exactly what these guys are riding:
So, it's going to be awhile until I actually can do anything cool (let alone get to class), but I think the experience will be a formative one.
